Therefore allowing cars to run longer distances with the same amount of fuel.
Thanks to a more efficient combustion of gasoline.
And reduce the emissions of exhaust pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulates (PM).
Fuel ethers are compatible with existing, as well as alternative, powertrain technologies e.g. hybrid cars, improving their environmental performance.
They help reduce fuel consumption by improving the volumetric and thermal efficiency, complementing engine technologies such as direct injection, turbocharging or higher engine compression ratios.
They help reach CO2 emission reduction goals and renewable energy source targets throughout their life cycle.
Fuel ethers provide the possibility of blending light olefins in petrol for more energy intensive fuel components, reducing overall CO2 emissions. They provide refiners with more blending options for volatile liquid fuels especially for petrol engine fuels, due to low vapour pressure (RVP). They are compatible with the existing refinery infrastructure, fuel supply and distribution system without additional investment.
Ethers provide the possibility of blending light olefins in petrol. They increase refining petrol production. Access to a high-octane blending components, like ethers, is particularly valuable during refinery outages and distribution system disturbances when additional supplies are needed most.
